Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186

The servants had packed her things very thoroughly.

There was almost nothing that needed to be added.

She took her toiletries to freshen up and changed into soft pajamas.

The hospital bed was large, and she lay down beside Wesley.

Wesley flipped through documents, his other hand resting on her forehead.

The air was quiet, with only the sound of Wesley turning pages.

Listening to that solitary sound, Cecilia soon fell asleep.

When Wesley heard her steady breathing, he finally put the documents down.

He slid down gently and turned to hold her in his arms.

The night passed in silence.

The next morning, Wesley woke up a little earlier.、

Perhaps because she was by his side, he was in a good mood.

Just as he was about to get up, someone barged into the hospital room.

“Wes!”

The voice was loud.

Wesley immediately frowned and looked at the intruder. “Keep your

voice down.”

Claude immediately noticed the bulge on the other side of the bed.

That must be Cecilia, right?

Wesley got out of bed and said coldly, “Cilla is sleeping. Let’s talk outside.”

Claude felt a pang in his chest. It really was Cecilia.

He pulled the door open and went out, feeling quite annoyed.

“Why is she here?”

Wesley frowned. “What do you want?”

Claude couldn’t be bothered about Cecilia’s presence anymore and quickly said, “Wes, there’s a problem at the company. I need your help.”

The Wilburn Group running into trouble was only a matter of time; Wesley wasn’t surprised.

Dillon was only good at maneuvering social relationships; he was not much of a businessman.

As for Claude, he had been pampered since childhood. He was a bit more capable than Dillon, but he had never weathered any real storms and couldn’t handle crises.

The scandal involving Cecilia and Priscilla had blown up, and the negative public opinion was suffocating the company, making life unbearable.

Claude had no choice but to come to Wesley, hoping Wesley would step in to help.

Wesley looked deeply at the haggard Claude. “You should have thought of this when you first came back.”

Claude gritted his teeth. “Dad’s mind is muddled now. What am I supposed to do if I don’t take care of things?”

Wesley only said one thing: “If you fail to cut ties when you should, chaos will follow.”

His meaning was clear–he would not help.

Claude knew their relationship had long since changed, but hearing such a resolute refusal still stung.

He looked toward the hospital room. “Is it because of her?”

“No.”

“I’ve always wondered, with Cecilia’s background, how could you possibly be interested in her?” Claude couldn’t understand.

The Carlton family was a powerful and prestigious clan. After Cecilia’s identity was revealed, countless people eyed the position of Mrs. Carlton, but Wesley’s heart was entirely with Cecilia.

Wesley narrowed his eyes.

How could he be interested in her?

He didn’t know either. Maybe he just wanted to stay true to one person for life.

He didn’t answer.

Wesley entered the hospital room. Cecilia had already finished washing up.

She knew Claude had been there. “Did he ask you for help?”

Wesley approached her, leaned in, and kissed her. “Yes, I refused.”

As he spoke, he gazed into her eyes, wanting to see if she would be happy about it.

Cecilia showed little emotion.

After washing up, she had breakfast.

Cecilia went to see Noah.

She ran into Dillon in the corridor outside the hospital room.

He was hunched over, looking much older, with a few strands of white hair at his temples.

“Cilla.” He called out weakly, with no trace of the old hatred in his

eyes.

Cecilia stood where she was, looking at him coldly. “Don’t call me that. It’s disgusting.”

Cilla was Bonnie’s cherished name for her.

Dillon was not worthy of uttering those two syllables.

Dillon rubbed his hands together, his demeanor humble and ingratiating.

“I know these past years you haven’t been happy at the Wilburn’s mansion, but you never lacked for food, clothing, or anything else. For her sake, you should help the Wilburn family.”

“Besides, if it weren’t for Priscilla’s identity, you would never have met Wesley.”

“All of this was brought to you by the Wilburn family. You can’t be ungrateful.”

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face. “If Priscilla knew you were standing by and doing nothing, how heartbroken would she be?”

“Shut up.” Cecilia’s eyes were icy cold. “All these years, you never cared about her, let her be bullied. You’re not worthy of mentioning

her.”

“But she’s my daughter. That’s a fact that can’t be changed.”

“Yes, she’s your daughter, but she’s already dead.” Cecilia’s words were laced with sarcasm and hatred.

“But you…”

“I took her place only to take care of Grandma.”
